Is this safe for 0-6 month old newborns to use Calendula Officinalis Flower?
ℹ️General Overview
For infants (0-6 months): calendula is usually gentle and often used to calm baby skin. Most babies tolerate it, but because it is a plant extract, a very small number of infants can have an allergic reaction.
✅What to Do
If you want to try a calendula product on your baby under 6 months: choose a product made for babies that is fragrance-free and labeled for sensitive skin; try it in a very small area first (or test it on a parent's inner forearm) and wait 24–48 hours to watch for redness or irritation; avoid using on broken or inflamed skin; stop use at the first sign of any reaction and call your pediatrician if you are concerned. If your baby has a known allergy to daisies/asters, avoid calendula.
⚠️Warnings
Watch for redness, swelling, hives, rash, or breathing changes — these are signs of an allergic reaction and require stopping the product and contacting your pediatrician. Safety reviews and regulatory sources (Cosmetic Ingredient Review and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) note generally low concerns but recommend standard limits and care with botanical ingredients in young infants.
